A Post in Bisdak Planet

***Just want to repost this.  Still makes me roll my eyes seeing this.  Click the title for details.

I visited Bisdak Planet just recently and a post by Eric caught my attention. It was snapshots of two kids (and not just any kid, they are around 5-7 years old!) doing the unbelievable - kissing, hugging, and - OMG! When I saw the pics my initial reaction was "Aguy Ginoo ko!". Who's to blame? Check it out so you'll know what I mean and post comments when you're done. Tsk! Tsk! It looks funny but it's not, well, that's from a mother's point of view.

New Age Rosary Warning!

I was quite alarmed when I was informed about this. I immediately scrutinized my rosaries and I found out this: the rosary which was given to me by my aunt (a rosary that came from Europe) is good, but the rosary which was given to me on my birthday by somebody I don't know is a definite example of the statements below.

It was weird really because since I received the 'rosary', I was always uncertain to use it, never opened it in its sealed plastic until now when I looked on it closely to confirm the symbols.

read it on and take a real good look with your rosaries.

Please be warned.

Could be true. This morning, I saw Fr Gerry scrutinizing the cross of a blue rosary being asked by a youth to be blessed. ...............forwarded message.......... Passing on some info. which you may or may not have heard before…. This is a warning to our Catholic friends about New Age Rosary. They SHOULD NOT keep them. I know the following is true because my sisters were in Medjugorje (pilgrimage) and they were given this New Age Rosary for free. There are people giving these away for free on the streets. A priest who is an exorcist at Medjugorje told my sisters to throw it out right away. Here's the excerpt of an email I received recently: One of the things I must mention is that there are now going around in the world, plastic new age rosaries in white, blue and pink. I had no idea about them until this was mentioned on the trip. Upon arriving home I went through my own collection of plastic rosaries and found 2 that had a snake wrapped above Jesus’ head with the mouth just besides his face. Also, no INRI sign and I think it is pentagons that surround each point. On the back, are also puncture marks of some kind on the cross? Please remind everyone to look carefully for these. Maybe you are already aware but it would be a good idea to tell Catholics what is now happening. One priest said it would be OK once it's blessed but another priest, whom I trust explicitly and who is a Marian priest said even though it may be blessed, it has not been exorcised and evil may still persist........ Yvonne NEW AGE ROSARY WARNING These rosaries have appeared on sale at pilgrimage centers across Europe and are in most cases are given away for FREE. They are made from cheap plastic and come in white, blue or pink, stamped as having been made in Italy , yet no one knows who has produced them. Since they are available at places of pilgrimage this makes people automatically think they are fine to use. Information regarding the danger of these rosaries was given at the Marian Cenacle in Limoges , France on 14th March 2005. Why are they considered New Age? They are considered New Age due to their symbolism which is not too easy to see except by close inspection of the crucifix, which shows a very sinister story. Behind the figure of Christ there can be seen a caduceus, which is an upright pole, representing mediation between Heaven and earth. It is an ancient herald's wand which was carried by messenger gods like Hermes or Mercury. The rod is also a divining rod to measure the earth and it's energies of power. The serpent Satan is shown behind the figure of Christ and is depicted by a coiled serpent which means latent power, concealed but not yet fully manifest, a dormant power. It may also represent to Satanists that the devil is co messianic, coredeemer and co Christ etc. The circles on the crucifix are from Egyptian Graeco-Roman, Phoencian, Baal symbols called the Pentagram, which is a major occult sign. The circles or pentagrams have five points, which represent, spirit, fire, earth, water and air. The pentagram at the bottom is upside down represents the devils goat. The four circles with dots in the centre signifies gold or the sun in alchemy. In general the meaning is "The resolution of all possibilities." Christ does not share any platform with any other god, philosophy or belief system or minor deity least of all Satan. The depiction of Christ on the cross is the most prominent place of worship, adoration, veneration, glorification, for Catholics and many other Christians and now Satanists or 'new agers,' have placed Satan alongside Christ. Some have even said that if these rosaries are blessed, they loose any negative power, however this cannot be assured, for it cannot be known what curse, spell or hex has been placed on these rosaries, and what do you think? There is some debate going on about this at the moment. Anyway Does anyone really want to pray on a rosary that depicts Satan? What we need to be asking ourselves who has made these rosaries with these symbols that should not be there.!! What do I do if I am given one of these rosaries? If you are offered or given one of these rosaries break it and throw it away that way it will loose its power when incomplete. There are a small minority of UK suppliers who have bought some of these rosaries and are trying to push people to buy them, I assume they do not completely understand the seriousness of this symbolism. Also tell your friends about these rosaries so they are aware of its dangers. Why has this happened? Over the years especially through the last century Our Lady has been firm and very explicit regarding the power of the Holy Rosary being the weapon against Satan, therefore would it not be fair to say that the New Age rosary, is a sign that dark powers are trying to undermine her crusade!

And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.

Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.

And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)

PAGE OF KORAN

Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

Weird Fishes

I was going over the coral reefs when I was surfing and it made me stop and think, what are some of the weird fishes around? Let's all find out.

Estuary Catfish, Cnidoglanis macrocephalus, a large catfish capable of causing painful injuries to swimmers. Also a popular eating fish in some parts of Australia, Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia, Pacific Ocean

Eastern Stargazer, Kathetostoma laeve, a Juvenile Stargazer buried in sand, Edithburgh, South Australia, Australia, Southern Ocean

Short finned Sunfish, Ranzania laevis, a smaller cousin of the Mola Mola. They are found in most seas but not commonly seen. Here in Southern Australia they are occasionaly found washed ashore, Two Peoples Bay, Western Australia, Australia, Southern Ocean

Usually hidden, this yellow colored Painted Frogfish (Antennarius pictus) was perched out in the open on top of a small coral head. The fishing lure, though not extended, can be clearly seen, especially the peculiarly shaped bait on the end. Image taken on the coral reef that surrounds Gato Island off of Cebu and Malapascua Island in The Philippines.

Smooth Anglerfish, Phyllophryne scortea, anglerfish found actively swimming at night under a jetty, coffin Bay, SoutH Australia, Australia, Southern Ocean

Splendid Toadfish (Sanopus splendidus) under a reef ledge in Cozumel, Mexico. Occasionally this fish is known as a Crested Toadfish. Cozumel is the only known habitat for this fish.

A pale pink or orange color phased Warty Frogfish (Antennarius maculatus) sits amongst the rocks on the bottom of the ocean floor on the shore muck dive at Basura at Anilao in the Batangas region of the The Philippines. Frogfish are ambush predators and through coloration and selection of their location they lie in wait for their prey to swim by then explode forward to capture their target. This fish is often known as the Clown Frogfish, especially when in the small, white phase rather than this coloration phase.

A pair of Crinoid Clingfish (Discotrema crinophila) deep within a host Crinoid on a coral reef at night off Mabul Island in Sabah, Malaysia. These fish live within these crinoids for protection and are difficult to photograph without disturbing the crinoid unnecessarily.

This dark headed Jawfish (Opistognathidae sp? - Opistognathus sp) was spotted in Cozumel,Mexico. Possibly a Yellowhead Jawfish variation DSI is looking for further information on this species

Old Wife, Enoplosus armatus, School of this common shallow water fish. Their name is derived from the grating sound they make when stressed, Wool BAy, South Australia, Australia, Southern Ocean

An adult Zebra Shark (Stegostoma fasciatum) with a large hook in its mouth, rests on top of a coral wall. A small Sharksucker (Echeneis naucrates) is attached to the sharks side. This shark is often referred locally as a 'Leopard Shark' due to its spots, however the Zebra Shark name comes from the juvenile patterning which consists of large dark stripes. Image taken in the early morning at 'Barracuda Point' off the coast of Sipidan in Sabah, Malaysia
